M E M O R a N D U M Gold Line Grade-Separation Attachment A – Nelson/Nygaard Memorandum Report M E M O R A N D U M To: Fred Dock and Bahman Janka From: Paul Moore and Steve Boland Date: February 6, 2018 Subject: City Funding Request to Metro (SR-710 Early Action Projects) This memorandum briefly describes the projects the City of Pasadena Department of Transportation is proposing to include in the City’s SR-710 Early Action Projects funding request to Metro. The projects were selected based on: . review of the SR-710 North Environmental Impact Report/Statement (EIR/EIS); . recommendations of the SR-710 Working Group; . other existing City plans, including the Mobility Element of the General Plan; . additional project development by City staff; . Nelson\Nygaard evaluation; . discussions with representatives of the Cities of South Pasadena and Alhambra; and . discussions with the Transportation Advisory Commission in its October 26 meeting. Consistent with Metro direction, many of the proposed projects are Transportation System Management/Transportation Demand Management (TSM/TDM) projects, while others are multimodal in nature. Many of the projects are in advanced stages of project development or are part of adopted policies, while others are newer concepts requiring further community discussion and project development (note that cost estimates for these projects are by necessity preliminary, based on professional judgment). The projects are presented in no particular order. Given the scale of funding available, it is our hope that most if not all projects can be funded by Metro. GOLD LINE GRADE-SEPARATION This project would consist of grade-separation of the existing at-grade Metro Rail Gold Line crossing at California Boulevard. This segment of the Gold Line intersects two arterial streets with relatively high traffic volumes – California and Del Mar Avenue – resulting in substantial delay and congestion. Moreover, because a number of other area streets terminate at the Gold Line, these at-grade crossings contribute to a lack of pedestrian and bicycle connectivity between neighborhoods east and west of the Gold Line. While providing regional connectivity and access for Pasadena residents, the Gold Line acts as a physical barrier in central Pasadena. Grade-separation of the Del Mar intersection would be challenging due to the proximity of the existing at-grade Del Mar station and adjacent transit-oriented development spanning the Gold 706 SOUTH HILL STREET, SUITE 1200 LOS ANGELES, CA 90014 213-785-5500 www.nelsonnygaard.com SR-710 Early Action Projects Funding Request to Metro [City of Pasadena] Line right-of-way. However, a very preliminary plan has been developed for grade-separation of the California intersection that would have far fewer impacts, including no interruption in Gold Line service (either space is available, or certain properties could be acquired for the purpose of providing for a shoofly on adjacent properties during the construction of the project). This project has preliminary been estimated to have a capital cost of $105 million. We understand that Metro may wish to evaluate this project in the context of other potential grade separations of existing at-grade Gold Line crossings, including intersections in South Pasadena and Los Angeles. Therefore, our initial request is for a broader study of Gold Line grade separations, with funding set aside for implementation of priority projects. 210 RAMP MODIFICATIONS This project would remove the existing I-210 “stub” on- and off-ramps north of California and make operational improvements to Del Mar and Fair Oaks to accommodate traffic shifted to those streets. The I-210 stub, while less than one mile long, currently features two pairs of on- and off-ramps: north of California, and just north of Del Mar. The northbound on-ramps at Del Mar and north of California (between Bellevue and Waverly Drives) are less than 800 feet apart. We understand that proposed projects may not interfere with eventual construction of an SR-710 North tunnel, if that is the direction Caltrans and Metro eventually decide to pursue. However, removal of the existing ramps at California should not interfere with that project, and would provide a number of benefits. Most importantly, removal of the California ramps would effectively shift north-south regional traffic (particularly southbound traffic) away from the one-way couplet of St. John and Pasadena avenues, relatively narrow residential streets, to Del Mar, Fair Oaks and Arroyo Parkway, broad commercial arteries that are designed to accommodate such traffic. This would be consistent with the City of South Pasadena’s accompanying effort to shift regional traffic from Fremont Avenue to Fair Oaks, and would enable traffic calming improvements to St. John and Pasadena (see following section). As part of this project, the City is requesting funding for a new traffic signal at Fair Oaks and Bellevue. The City has recently completed a number of throughput improvements to both Fair Oaks and Arroyo, including implementation of adaptive traffic control systems (ATCS) technology at signalized intersections. As an alternative to this project, regional traffic could be shifted from St. John and Pasadena to Fair Oaks and Arroyo Parkway using modifications to the intersection of the I-210 southbound off-ramp and California including restriping (removal of one westbound lane on California) to accommodate dual left-turn lanes and signal timing adjustments. If this direction were pursued, the City would request funding for accompanying pedestrian improvements on California, including sidewalk widening. However, the City’s strong preference is for removal of the California ramps, as this would much more effectively divert regional traffic away from Pasadena and St. John while maintaining local and regional access to and from I-210. Cost estimates have not been developed for this project, but costs for removal of two freeway ramps, along with attendant changes to roadway striping, signals and signage, could reasonably be expected to exceed $10 million. Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc. | 2 SR-710 Early Action Projects Funding Request to Metro [City of Pasadena] TRAFFIC CALMING/COMPLETE STREET PROGRAMS A number of “complete streets” projects are proposed to: improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists by reducing auto speeds; reduce the impacts of regional traffic diverted to local residential streets from adjacent freeways; and work toward encouraging non-auto travel throughout the City and the northern segment of the 710 North corridor. St. John Avenue/Pasadena Avenue/Orange Grove Complete Street Program Removal of the I-210 on- and off-ramps north of California (see previous section) would enable traffic calming improvements to the residential streets of St. John and Pasadena Avenue. Residents along these streets must currently bear a disproportionate share of the burden of accommodating regional traffic in the 710 North corridor. Specifically, the City proposes to restore both St. John and Pasadena to their previous configurations, before they were converted to a one-way couplet accommodating higher vehicular throughput. In addition to converting both streets to two-way traffic, this would result in restoration of removed sidewalks, and resulting narrower rights-of-way further improving pedestrian conditions by shortening street crossings. As a corollary to this project, the City is also requesting funding for traffic calming improvements to Orange Grove Boulevard, which parallels St. John and Pasadena Avenue to the west. A community process to identify desired improvements is currently underway. The preliminary cost estimate for this project is approximately $15 million. Allen Avenue Complete Street Program The City of Pasadena also wishes to enhance pedestrian walkability and bicyclist safety along the critical north-south Allen Avenue corridor, between Villa Street and Colorado Boulevard. A wide variety of travelers, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users and motorists, use the corridor due to its proximity to the I-210 Freeway, the Allen Gold Line Station, and Pasadena City College. Proposed improvements to improve safety and walkability may include narrowing of streets by widening sidewalks, raised landscaped medians, “road diet” lane reconfiguration, constructing curb extensions/bulb outs at some intersections, upgrading traffic signal equipment, and modifying roadway signing and striping. The preliminary cost estimate for this project is approximately $1.5 million. Hill Avenue Complete Street Program Hill Avenue between Villa Street and the northern city limit at Topeka Street was evaluated for potential safety enhancements through a City-sponsored program in 2016- 2017. This program began with the development of a working group that included residents and other stakeholders, and culminated with a list of potential enhancements to reduce vehicular speed and enhance pedestrian, bicyclist and motorist safety. The list of potential enhancements includes bulb outs at twelve intersections and traffic circles at the intersections of Hill Avenue with Topeka Street and Elizabeth Street. The I-210 freeway has both eastbound and westbound on-ramps and off-ramps at Hill Avenue, making it a heavily traveled corridor. Design is currently underway for these enhancements, but construction funding has not yet been identified.

Socio-economic Context ! Policy Context ! Community Values Section 2 CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND 11 Local & Regional Setting Regional Setting Pasadena is situated at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains in the western San Gabriel Valley, approximately 10 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. This location offers numerous advantages, including convenient freeway and airport access that will continue to provide the City a competitive advantage as a regional business hub. Moreover, few localities can match the physical beauty afforded by the backdrop of the San Gabriels. San Gabriel Mountains Local Setting Located in the heart of the City, the Central District’s approximately 960 acres essentially correspond to the area recognized by Pasadena’s residents as “Downtown.” (Downtown and Central District will be used interchangeably in this document.) Included within its boundaries are the activity centers popularly known as Old Pasadena, the Civic Center, the Playhouse District, and South Lake Avenue; each makes a special contribution to this urban setting with an active mixture of uses. The Central District’s boundaries are clearly marked to the north and west by the 210 and 710 Freeways respectively, and it’s buildings are prominent features along these highways. Approaching the campuses of the California Institute of California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Pasadena City College (PCC), the eastern Technology boundary lies one to two blocks east of Lake Avenue. The southern limit roughly follows California Boulevard, except that the Specific Plan area includes the Arroyo Parkway corridor extending from the 110 Freeway into the midst of Downtown.
